Bitcoin Forum

Greetings seniors and to my fellow newbies out there! Just wondering on how to improve my skills here in BBT? I'm asking for essential tips for me to learn and explore, and to share my point of views in every category. Because i believe it's not about merit, earnings but it's all about the knowledge what we all have.

Actually,  this was my first time joining this kind of forum and I felt like so excited to learning from all of you guys.

What you mean skills? Verbal writing or any technical specialty such as making signature design?

Before you anywhere I suggest read these links first to be able to familiarise yourself with the rules since you are just a newbie.

(1) Newbies - Read before posting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0)
(2) FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum activity, account ranks and merit (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2766177.0)
(3) Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0)

If you that decided to join here and learn more useful knowledge then reading is the best start. Once you know these then slowly join some discussion and impart what you learn and ask question on what you dont understand. Good luck on your journey.

That's great, I like the thing you have said about knowledge over earning money, its better if we mind first on how are we going to gain knowledge before how we earn money, this forum is really good for sharing crypto information. There is much information related to cryptocurrencies, so if you want to be updated about things happen in the crypto world, this forum is really good for you. Try to make some research or keep reading some posts in this forum so it any improve your skills someday.
Those are good threads for all the beginners in this forum. All beginners should read those threads so they will become familiar with the nature of this forum.

Apart from knowing the rules of the forum, if you are looking to learn and know more about Bitcoin and it's technicals you should focus mainly on the following boards
-  Development and Technical Discussion  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=6.0)
-  Bitcoin Technical Support (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0)

If you are trying to enhance your knowledge on btc and its technical aspects, I would recommend you to experiment this. Through experiment you can learn and if you ever face any problem, you can oost it here so that others can help you solving the problem.
A newbie is talking about earning merit doesn't look a true newbie though.

Welcome to BT.
Take a look at the prototype for the newbie welcome message -

It has not yet been integrated, but it contains very useful tips and is very concise.

Another useful tool for you would be the SEARCH bar, which is one of the top icons on the page. It would grant you access to the plethora of information available on the forum

Here is a project driven by our bitcointalk community members : https://bpip.org/default.aspx

Where you can get lot of stats regarding bitcointalk and also most merited posts,threads stuffs like that which will make easier for you to find worthy read posts.

A lot of important links are already suggested by the other members. I think experience is important too because that is where you could get the information that you could share with others here in the forum.

You need knowledge about bitcoin, read the forum rules, good at English. Also always do a constructive post to help other members in their topics, as long as you stay active in the forum I guess everything will be good to go.

Spending some of your times would be enough if you want to learn about cryptocurrency. The forum has all the resources you need. If you want to improve your skill on crypto, start playing with cryptocurrency. Eventually, you will be able to improve your skill.

As a beginner, It might be easy to get overwhelmed with everything going on in the forum. Like other members have suggested, read through the threads via links posted by other members.

After that, You're all set to start contributing to the community. You can start by engaging in conversations and providing useful contributions to discussions. You can also contribute to projects on  Project Development (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=12.0) section of the forum. With time, you'll learn how things work around here. Once again, welcome to the community!

Finally reading is the best source of knowledge offered by this forum.

Your question is to vague, so here's a vague answer for you - practice. There's a rule/myth that you need 10,000 hours to master a skill. Even if the number is wrong, the idea behind it isn't - you need to put a lot of hours and effort, and also be smart about your learning.

If you want to understand Bitcoin better, you need to start with reading Bitcoin books, then you can read some quality blog posts or discussions to gain even deeper language. You also will need to learn fundamentals of cryptography, computer science and networking to truly understand Bitcoin.

You are correct Sir! :)
I would suggest you to focus on specific topics first. For example, get level expert knowledge in mining and not novice knowledge in everything.
You could also learn basics of everything first, then focus on specific topic. Its up to you, but in the end would be great for you to be expert in some Bitcoin field.

You don't need skills to join this forum,  participate in different discussion,  read and understand different content etc.
You only need to invest your time and effort.
If you wants to offer some service here like programming,  logo design,  translation etc. than you need some skills 😀

Actually by just exploring on our forum is you can now get a lot of information came from the thread of our members that can help you if you want to know about the whole news and bitcoin-related you can direct to our main board which is the bitcoin discussion if you want to take time research about the projects looking for answers related to the coding like GitHub you can visit our project development if you want to help out about the forum that you want to make improvements you can visit the meta if you want to take a look for the jobs we have the services, that you can earn also you can use your talent like creating designs and signatures if you want to help other members especially the newbies you can join into beginners and help and lastly if you want to discuss the altcoins we have the mainboard altcoins discussion at the same time they have bounties the same to service but the payment is on alts.


That's the reason why I join to the btt because set aside on GitHub I can earn a lot of knowledge and skills with the help on the different programming skills also the stack overflow makes more knowledge on programming but in relayed in bitcoin or crypto you can find it here too.

Welcome to the forum @hunter...... The need start post you have to read -are on pinned topic above the home pages of boards-

This is a reply to one post I made -for newbies- although the reply went beyond what the post is about, but that few words of advice is what makes legendarys

As a newbie you if you had outstanding understanding about topics/threads fantastic, but if you don't keep the gusto up

You've already mentioned it, it would all fall down to one very important aspect, knowledge. We all have entered this forum without knowing anything about crypto (most of us), hence, what makes us last long here is that the constant searching of a better prospect of knowledge and innovation as time passes by.

Basically, all you need are:

• Motivation to improve everything and have a reason to learn something.
• Goal that would simply lead you to what journey you are taking, and would help you not to be lost in it.
• And most importantly, Willingness to learn, because even you have motivation and goal, if you lack of willingness, soon you'll see yourself stuck on the knowledge you already have, without searching further and gaining more.

This is basically for the psychological aspect that would help you improve your skills mostly as you start here in forum. Meanwhile, you must also be knowledgeable with the rules in all boards and the forum in general. Always keep in mind that this isn't a social media, hence shitposting and spamming wouldn't help you as newbie.

1. Obey the forum rules
2. Improve your posting skill
3. Help others with whatever crypto problem they are facing
4. Learn from others

These are very important here to always remember as a forum member. Participation in forum discussion and what you can share is also a part of improving your skills. Probably it is good for you to stick here in the Beginners & Help board because there's a lot of threads here that might improve your skills in any aspect, just like forums and even technical stuff like Bitcoin and the Blockchain technology.

Before my Eglish writing skills are very poor, so, I decided to stick for months on our local board using my native language so that I understand every single piece of information that I need to learn in a forum that makes your mind sharpened in skills that you need.

This would be a better things needed to do by newbie so that  they  will improve as well became a relevant member in this community but you shouldn't focus on here  only he aims  to join on signature campaigns since aside from  that there are so many opportunities where  they can join without worrying their rank since some of  the client out here needs some skills not a rank to create a good result on their companies.

Reading and asking questions about things you don't understand is the key to learning. However, it's almost impossible to cover all cryptocurrencies aspects and fully master them.
You should define your goals and know exactly what you want to learn otherwise your efforts will be dispersed and things may become more ambiguous to you.

If you are interested in bitcoin and want to learn how it works, you can start with reading "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas Antonopoulos. A great book but not really for beginners but you can ask here about any thing you don't understand and other members will help you.

This book is basically great for learning and learning about Bitcoin I personally have read that it's very easy to master the essential ideas But I feel this forum is the best place to enhance your skills in crypto. There are many sites during this forum that we will gain knowledge and skills about both Bitcoin and Crypto if we analyze them well but it requires patience it's impossible to find out anything in at some point.

These four tips are good to bear in mind while you're here in the forum. Personally, I improve myself through reading because that's what I like most. Watching videos is another source of knowledge for me.

As for the skills you're asking, I can't say much about it for I'm not that skilled as well, especially on the technical ones. I'm also learning from day to day. But as I've said earlier, reading is a good source. It can be a book, an article, or a blog. Though having a hands-on experience would also be a huge factor for the skills to retain better.

Hello buddy, welcome to this forum before anything else try to have a look with this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0, that is the official rules and guidelines of this forum, you should read that first so you would know the right and wrong things to do. You may also do some research about cryptocurrency, it helps you to gain skills and knowledge.

Here's a thread to improve your skills on bitcointalk's formatting:

Instructions on how to use BBCode (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4738016.0)
[LEARN] BBCode Lessons & Tutorials [+tutorial videos!] (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1727100.0)

Also hidden pages:

BitCoinTalk hidden pages - undocumented features (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=964593.0)

---

Other than that, I think it's important to understand how the trust system works. It's ok to ask questions about it here, but always best to look into documented material first. Theymos (forum's admin) has written about it extensively.

I support. Also, Andreas M. Antonopoulos has its own YouTube channel on which a lot of videos.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJWCJCWOxBYSi5DhCieLOLQ

These are very useful videos from which you can learn a lot about Bitcoin.

In any case, you are in the right place. This is a forum that is happy for beginners who want to gain knowledge. The main thing is to take some time to study the rules of the forum, which is also important for understanding how the community lives.

You mentioned knowledge, so reading should be your priority not posting thrash or repeated threads that will get obvious response, people needs new and additional knowledge.

Meta I believe is the best place to start reading a lot to understand how this forum works and all the information about forum rules and regulations start there.

Being new to this forum, I advise you to first and foremost read all the rules and understand them well You must focus on learning first before thinking about profit and getting rewards, and this forum is the right place to learn and to get money through some campaigns. You can learn everything by reading the posts inside all sections of the forum

Here comes my six skills improvement ideals in the forum

1.I have to take precaution of the forum,

2.I to observe topics before responding to it,

3.By writing quality Post's that are meaningful,

4.also draft out quality topic that yields reasonable response

5.and avoid to misquote member of the forum by insulting them.

6.finally obey the rules and regulations of the forum.

You have said it all mate. From my point of view, the main thing to improve your skills in this forum is to make quality posts that will help the community and learn from other people's tips and guidelines in the crypto space, so that you could use it whether it is investing or trading in cryptocurrency.

Now you must have understood and know how to improve your skills in this forum. Some of the members above have also given reference threads that you must study and read in order to understand the rules in this forum.

Being a quality new member will benefit you more in the future. all you need is the process and the process you have to run well, don't focus on the revenue that will be generated, but must focus on quality posts and your contribution in this forum.
Hopefully become a good and useful new member in this forum.

Be determine and don't be easily give up on yourself. The technology isn't just too friendly for noons but with time you will befriend this technology and be graded with it. Continuous reading and learning including practice what you have read|learn for the growth is important. Don't be discourage about what you be reading from this forum but be strong as they are all temporal, things are soft for those who believe.

That is good thinking, Yeah, we do really have some category here like bitcoin discussion and altcoin discussion, etc. If you are creating a thread in the future you should not put altcoin topics on bitcoin-related boards they have their own category. To be knowledgeable in those areas I guess reading is the best thing to do, Also, communicate with other members if you have any questions or clarification in mind. To improve your skills just search it on google and youtube it might help, you can find and learn almost everything online now.

I think you have already got your answer from all above valuable replies. Honestly there is no shortcut to success. I am not sure enough you are talking about what kind of skills actually.You should make it clear from your end first. Personally i always suggest forum newbies to increase their own knowledges by spending a good amount of time rather the running after earning. There is plenty of separate section's here where newbies like you can learn lots of new thing about crypto currencies and bitcoin.

Just manage some time to visit every single corner of this forum and read as much as you can. Its the only way to know everything about bitcointalk and its worldwide community. Read more and try to find all unknown answers by your own. When you think you are not going to get the answer by your own then don't shy to share it with us. Thats all.

Thank you so much for your advice. And that's what's i did for last  the few days since i joined in this of forum. I've learned a lot from their comments especially yours. And the first thing that i want to do is to expand my knowledge about crypto currency, economics and make conversation while sharing my knowledge towards them. ;D

Don't focus on this forum only since you will find the toxicity here, Kindly follow and read those media channels who deliver some latest news about bitcoins and crypto currency since for sure you will get more critical information about the whole scope of crypto market.

Also good luck and became a relevant member here just do a hard work and for sure it you will get a benefit for it in future.

For me, you will improve by constantly reading, not only here in bitcointalk but also in other platforms that will help you gain knowledge. After reading the rules, start by reading basics threads and gather information for you to learn, or you can also research things you don't understand.

But since they already gave you tips on what to read, aside from the technical part, also try observing how most members here approach and interact with each other. Posting requires quality, so you can share a lot of your opinions if you have enough knowledge so learning is very important. Accepting criticism from other members is not really obliged, but if you are willing to accept and change it, it will help you to improve a lot here in the forum.
